American Jinga
We’re definitely not playing a game per se but the state of our nation really reminds me of that game Jinga where you take time pulling out pieces until everything crumbles.
Trump’s extracting structural pieces from the foundation of our entire country. It’s not just democracy that he is destabilizing, it is every system, including the banking system.
I keep telling friends and family that, very much like that game, we are still standing now. We still look the same in many ways but we are already drastically weakened. I’m not sure exactly which piece will cause us to totally crumble but I fear we are near that point.
I don’t believe we will make it to see the end of his (first) four years before that happens. He has no intention of being brought to justice.
On a sadder note after being on DU for more than 20 years (I changed names so my profile doesn’t show all my time) I miss the good old days when posts like this were shut down by the community as hyperbole.
I’m not sure what you are hearing from your friends and family about what’s going onbut one thing I keep hearing is that God will take care of this. That may be true. I will not disparage the religious community. However I believe before that happens God wants people to realize that they have given up the gift of democracy because of apathy and ingratitude.
Thanks for listening to my doomsday ramblings.
